FWIW, I just tried it on a W10 x64 device...same thing.
Did you try building in msys or just running binaries already posted?
The same downloaded latest binary I attempted to run on W7. I was hoping the daemon would work on W10 so I could sync and update my blockchain files.
Ok, I'm gonna try to rebuild win bins on a different machine tonight or tomorrow, and if they still don't work I'll start working thru debug stuff with gdb.
